July 3, 1776



Brent Ashworth holds a rare 238-year-old original issue of the July 3, 1776, edition of the Pennsylvania Gazette in Salt Lake City Tuesday, July 1, 2014. This newspaper was at one time owned by Benjamin Franklin and contains the first published announcement of the Declaration of Independence, which appears halfway down the third column of page two. (Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News)

for those in need of Trifocals (oh yes I do) even stronger than mine it reads:

"Philadelphia, July 3: Yesterday the Continental Congress declared the United Colonies free and independent states."

on the same day John wrote to Abigail of the July 2 date

"I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival," Adams wrote. "It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other."

close, so close. . .
